Residential Locksmith FAQ

Rekeying involves changing the internal pins of your lock so old keys no longer work. You should rekey when you move into a new home, lose keys, or want to restrict access for previous owners, contractors, or service providers.

Rekeying is typically better if your existing locks are in good condition. It saves money while providing security. Replace locks when they're damaged, outdated, or you want enhanced security features like smart locks or high-security deadbolts.

Yes! We install and program smart locks with keypad, Bluetooth, and WiFi connectivity. We work with major brands like Schlage, Yale, Kwikset, and others. We can also integrate them with your existing smart home system.

Rekeying costs $45 plus $25 for each additional lock. This includes the key change and testing. If you want all locks to work with one key, we recommend rekeying all exterior door locks for maximum convenience.

Absolutely! We duplicate keys for $8 per key. We can create spare keys for any lock type - house keys, deadbolts, smart locks, and specialty locks. It's a good idea to have 2-3 spare keys per household member.
